"After Hurricane Katrina, over New Orleans, my helicopter……" — Yann Arthus-Bertrand
"After Hurricane Katrina, over New Orleans, my helicopter crashed and the pilot and I were only saved because we fell on the roof of a flooded house that absorbed the shock. When the helicopter was spiraling downward out of control, I didn't expect to survive at all."
